hm
rant below
I run into this problem with my family a lot.
Before I was laid off, I was on a schedule (with either school or work or both) and all the other free time i had was open for helping my family (when i wasnt out with friends or working on school etc)
It was a little more balanced and i mean i was living at home rent free so of course i'd help my family here and there when i wasn't working on my school work or whatever.
I'm unemployed and trying to get things back rolling with this stupid cbest test and to substitute teach by next year yet every fucking day im asked to baby/house/pet sit and sure when im house/pet sitting i can literally just work on my shit there. But sometimes i kinda just want to be in my room or on my own schedule to work on my studying or 5 year plan without that stress on me. Given that I've been baby/house/pet sitting for every month of this year i just wanted November to be the month i just focus on myself.
I didn't tell anyone but i don't have too, i just decline and say I cant do it.
Then i get guilt tripped or told to go to starbucks/don't come out of my room if I dont want to be bothers like ok im trying not to spend money and now i gotta be locked up in my room? How about just take no for an answer???
I just wanted 1 month to decompress and focus on me. No obligations and no expectations.
I babysat this weekend after being sick the whole last week and now im being told "oh the kids are off school next week" well? I'm gonna be busy. Fucking go hire a babysitter.

seeing someone who enjoys going to clubs and parties has been legitimately cool in that i’ve gotten to experience lots of new music and different social/cultural spaces (especially those around afro/house music and dance which i’ve found i really like) but i am also thus in the period of reckoning with my deep double earth sign homebody-ness and normal refusal to leave the house past 8PM
